The situation you describe of your designated initializer not getting
called because you didn't override -init is simple enough to deal with,
without introducing some truly horrendous hacks in the compiler.
I find this to be a blatant over reaction. What is a horrendous hack in
the compiler? Is the '-' symbol in -init a blatant hack? It tells the
compiler that the method is an instance method. How difficult would it
have been to have a different symbol indicate a constructor. eg
%initWithFrame
Not difficult at all.
